I mean I’m into it for the “as much as things change they stay the same” aspect, but I’d rather we rest with solarpunk than cyberpunk.
At the same time, because I’m not familiar with the media, I hope it’s meant to be billions of light years away or a physically impossible universe. Unlikely the galaxy would be able to maintain a spiral being close enough to see dominating the night sky in an average system, since both have huge gravitational fields and frankly galaxy merging is super interesting advanced physics… (no I’m not fun at parties ;) )
Idk. I’m big into sci fi, and big into real science, and most of that is cyberpunk dystopia… and I kinda get it because I’ve met people… people lead you to dystopic thinking. Because people suck.
But man I could see the solarpunk utopia just as easily, yet it doesn’t tend to make a compelling story…? It does but mainstream producers aren’t into it… maybe because they think it’s unlikely and unrelatable… and cyberpunk is likely and relatable… 😔
